Glenn Gilberti (born November 12, 1968 in Marietta, Georgia) is an American professional wrestler, best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling as Disco Inferno.
Career
Gilberti started wrestling in 1991 on the Georgia independent circuit.
Gilberti made his name in World Championship Wrestling as Disco Inferno. He annoyed fans with his disco dancer character (which included dancing on the way to the ring and in between moves during matches) and rose to mid-card status as a heel. His stay in WCW included a feud with Jacqueline, which caused him to briefly leave WCW in a dispute over being pinned by a woman. He was in a tag team with Alex Wright called the "Dancing Fools" and "Boogie Knights" at various times. He was a regular guest on WCW Live! where he would tell off-color jokes and pitch ideas about evolving his character. He would extend this persona on screen to where he would try to reference pop culture in his promos looking to get a pop or a laugh, but was unsuccessful more often than not. He was also a hanger on to the nWo Wolfpac and a member of the Filthy Animals near WCW's last days as "Disqo".
Gilberti then went on to join Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, changing his alias to his real name. He was a member of S.E.X. and even became their leader near the end of that angle. He was also a member of the New York Connection (also known as the "N-Y-C") with Big Vito, Johnny Swinger and Trinity.
In 2005, he went back to working the independent circuit in Georgia.
